Legal Risks and Responses to Artificial Intelligence Technology from the Perspective of Sociology of Technology

Abstract

Due to the wide application of Artificial Intelligence (AI), it is reconstructing the rules, behavior, and the way of organization and operation in the economy and society. However, AI has also brought many potential risks while promoting high-quality economic growth and achieving effective social governance. AI has powerful intelligent thinking and behavioral decision-making ability. Therefore, there would be huge risks once safety problems related to AI occur. Although all countries are aware of the necessity of strengthening the regulation of AI, the regulatory system and governance concepts in practice are still not sophisticated enough to cope with the rapid progress of AI technology. In this paper, from the perspective of the sociology of technology, we analyze the development boundaries and legal limits of AI technology, and further explore the governance of science and technology ethics, aiming to build an AI that meets human expectations and promotes human well-being.
